Ditto Yeticaster.

Some of you that hold such disdain for the UN confuse me. You have absolute contempt for an organization that is modeled exactly after the government that you so fervently support. Isn't congress "just a bunch of politicians sitting around BSing each other?"

We are becoming a dictatorship that is less and less concerned about the people they serve and only those with their selfish agendas.

This is being done with the good people in the military that can't really protest how they are being used.
Seems true in a weird way. A lot of the American people are being led by their emotions and the rhetorical patriotic dogma. Look at the Dixie Chick controversy. She isn't punished by the government (dictator) because the government has convinced (conditioned) the people to do it for him. Ingenius.

Saddam hussein is a frickin pissed off madman that doesnt give a hoot about the world, its people, or for that matter his people.
People; please refrain from using the "humanitarian" arguement for justifying this war. Bush couldn't care any less about Iraq's people. He cares less than Saddam himself. If this was about humanitarian issues, there are many more countries out there suffering at a greater degree than Iraq. Iraq doesn't even have closed borders; the people can leave whenever they wish (which some are doing now that we are threatening to blow everything up).

If Bush is so concerned with HIS people (that would be us), then why is he putting them all "in harms way?" Why not use all the money he's spending to send troops over there to better protect our nation's borders? If the CIA/FBI were revamped maybe our intelligence sources would be better and tragedies like 9/11 would never happen.

When Bush wants to spend all that money to "free the Iraqi people," what message does that send to the millions of Americans at the poverty level whose aid was just cut because money was diverted for the war effort?

I'll bet those American soldiers would rather die of old age. You use the word "we" pretty loosely as you sit comfortably behind your computer.

Hitler, Stalin, and Hirohito thought the same way. Brilliant.

Confucious also say : The only thing you have to fear is fear itself. Meaning If we fail to act because of fear were going to get stomped. IE France
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was FDR that said that in his inaugural address, and he was refering to the economic depression that gripped the nation.
